Um. Hi!
I've loved pinball since I was a little kid but had no clue there was a whole hobby & community around it until three years ago.
I'm still a total newbie. I don't own any machines (but someday Twister *will* be mine!) and I live in a bit of a pinball desert so lately I've been playing on my phone.
I've always had a ton of guy friends but I gotta say it's nice to find out this thread exists, no matter how quiet it is! 
Quoted from DaWezl:Welcome roadmarks! It’s tough to be far away from any good places to play, but the more you hang around here, the more people you’ll get to know. 2-3 years ago I didn’t know anyone and now I have a bunch of pinball pals!
Thanks, @DaWezl!
I have a friend back in the part of Ohio where I grew up who's into pinball but she & I can never connect to go somewhere & play. I just found out there's a newish arcade near where my sister works. It's got a few pins & I'm hoping to go there with her soon.
O/T Your screen name is **really** familiar. You don't happen to have another hobby that involves music & travel, do you?
Quoted from Butterflygirl24:Welcome!!
I actually don't post on here anymore but figured I would break my silence to welcome you! There are actually quite a few ladies that love pinball. I'm in Southern Ohio and we have about 6 ladies in our local league of 32 players (there are many more out they're just not in our league). We just held our annual Cincy Pinball Championship tourney here last weekend and there was a lady from Columbus who finished 4th out of 43 total players.
There is a posted list of pinballs on location (in Ohio) I think on here somewhere maybe Da Wezl can lead you on how to search for it? I know there are several locations in Columbus and Cleveland area as well as a few here in Southern Ohio...not sure about Toledo area though but I would guess there are some out there. Don't give up looking! Pinball is an awesome hobby and I have met some of my best friends through this hobby!DaWezl...Haven't been doing a ladies only tourney but trying to get an annual event going in my area. This year was the highest turn out yet. We had 43 folks compete in the main tourney and we also did a side Iron Maiden premium (launch style) tourney that we had 30 folks compete in. So don't give up!! Just keep trying eventually it will work out for you!!

Thank you!
I have to say I was intimidated when I first got the nerve up to join instead of just lurk but everyone's been great!
Superelectric is supposed to be *the* place in Cleveland. That's where I keep trying to meet up with my friend.
Thanks to the map on here I've found a pizza place & a restaurant with (apparently) mediocre food that each have a single game. If I have to I'll learn to eat pizza & play pinball at the same time earlier than I planned.
